What tho Pii0t Chart Shows-Pre-
diCtions for the Month.
The February Pilot Chart OF the North
Atlantic ocean contains a great deal oil
interesting Information covering the
mOHth Of January. IL continues to show
the value Of and use OF oil in lessenlng
the dangers OF heavy se0s. The month OF
January was an unusually stormy month,
ana stormy weather prevailed in the
transatlantic route on the coast OF the
UAiled STATES north Of the 30th par
allel during the early pnrt OF the month
Gales were experienced as far
south as the Both parallel. During the
first five days of the month heavy north
era were encountered in the Gulf OF Mex
leo. A heavy foe ice is reported about 80
miles n0rth Of st. JONAS, n, r., and it is
thought th8t the ice has now got as far
south as New FOUodland. The Old dere-
liCt schooner Ida Francis Is reported as
having driftet ashore on Fish Cav. She
bad been a long time drifting about the
ocean,
There is an Interesting report from
Capt. Waterman, OF the British bark
BanE6elds. OF two earthquake shocks felt
at sea GA Nov. IS in latitude 0:j0 north,
longitude 29:5i west. The captain SAYS
-
rum6lng noiso was heard as though the
ship was dragging over single. The
shocks lasted from sixteen 10 twenty
seconds. Toe sky was clear. with n sligA
hnze on the horizon. The weather was
clear aud sultrv and there was a high and
confused sea. The British bark st. Pat
rick also reports that on Nov. II latitude
Al :36 norta, longitude 4:20 east, an I'M
mense water spout was elghted In the
a Il
appeared to be about 100 teet THROUGH and
at the base, and the water was one mass
OF toam-IIke clouds OF smoke. Tie cap
tain could not guess the height, but the
top was high up in the clouds
and the centre was continually
in motion, the wind being from northeast,
variable and squally. rain falling in tor
rents, with hallstOnes as large as wal
nuts.
The chart says that in the weather for
February the storm area extends over the
entire North Atlantic, Its southern limit
beng line from Cape Finistere to the
Azores and Bermuda. Within this area
gales may be expected on the average OF
once in eight dave. In the transatlantic
route the greater number OF gales Will
blow from southwest 10 northwest. North.
ers may be expected In the western
part Of the Gulf Of Mexico. lcebergs
and field Ice may be encountered south
and east OF the banks OF Newfoundland
as far as latitude AZ north and longitude
II west. 1t is a remarkable fact, as the
pilot chart shows, that the coast from
Florida to New York is thickly studded
with floating wrecks, and no effort ia be.

that few if any accidents have been re-
ported by vessels coming in contact with
them, but there may be vet, and the

CUT OPEN A MAIL BAG.

Young Armstrong Likely to Get
Another Term OF imprisonment.
Eziah Armstrong, cOlored boy who
was convicted Il few weeks ago OF steal
ing a registered letter, was tried yester-
day in the United States District Court
for mutIiating mail bag. Armstrong is
already under sentence Of one year to the
Albany county prison, New York. The
mutilation is alleged to nave occurred
Just previous TO the abstraction Of the
letter.
The defendant, who carried the mail on
his back through the southeastern section
Of the State, claims that he fell down and
the bag caught on the root of a tree and
was torn when he got up.
All Of the evidence was heard yester-

LONG FOUND GUILTY.
Judge Spccr's Charge to the Jury
on the Forgery Question.

Judge spccr's Charge to the Jury
on the Forgery Question.
The jury in the John G. Long case,
which WAS argued In the United Stae
Circuit Court on Friday, was charged
yesterday morning by Judge Speer. Upon
the law in regard TO forgery. his honor
charged that one may be guilty of for
gerry II he frauduleatly signs mis- name TO
paper, even though his name Is identI-
cal with that OF the person who should
have signed.
Had the money order been payable to
John A. Long, and il came by mistake Of
the mails or otherwise To the hands of
the prisoner, John A. Long, VINO, knowing
it was not intended for him, but for au-
other John A. Long, indorsed ii or signed
the receipt for it with the fraudulent Dur-
pose to get the money on it, he would be
guilty of forgery.
The presenting OF the order to the pay
ing official by the defendant, and signing
it "a though ne was the person for whom
the order was intended, is a circumstance
tending TO impeach the good faith OF the
transaction.
The guilty knowledge of the accused
must be shown TO the satisfaction OF the
jury, the court charged, but it is not
necessary that there should be positive
eyideace, provided that it is clearly in
ferable from the facts and circumstances
of the case. 1t the prosecution relies on
the confession alone the prisoner is en-.
titled To the full effect of that portion Of
the confession which goes IN his favor, but
if there il other evidence upon which tue
prosecution can with justice insist upon
a conviction the jury may, if they think
proper, convict, Notwithstanding the con-
tession alone would not be sufficient
The charge was lengthy aud explicit.
After remaining out short while the
| jury returned verdict OF guilty OF fraud

mended TO the mercy of the court. Sem

Not Helping the strikers,

Messrs. Dixon & Murphy were waited
upon yesterday by a committee OF the
Knights OF Labor in regard to the firms
supplying the Ocean Steamship Company
with coal. The knights seemed to think
that the steamers were carrying coal to
New York to sell to other steamers, and
were in that way working against the
strikers. The committee was informed
that the Ocean Steamship Company is
simply obtaining its own supply OF coal
from Messrs, Dixon & Murphy. and that
appeared to satisfy tue knights.
